Thus, if an OK measures feet girth, feet
length; SxS equals G4x. 0795775 equals
5.07296x6 equals 3o.55766 cubic
feet in the ANIMAL and If
the forequarters of the killed animal
weighed u Smithtield stones, 6t pounds
1881 pounds at pounds per stoneI. This
weight divided by the number of cubic
feet in the animal gives the weight of
cubic foot. Hence 9l5 stones 81
pounds equals 9l.4642S57 divided by
30. 5576 give 1898 stones per cubic foot.
And this is the actual weight assumed
for cubic foot.
The calculation may be shortened. As
.0795775. and 1893 are both constant
multipliers in the operation, they NAV be
multiplied together and the product used
in one multiplier, thus: 0796775x2. 1872
equals .23Si75f675. But .23S, or three
figures only, may DO near enough for
multiplier. Thus, SKIS equals 64x6 equals
324x.23S equals 1892, or 81 st. IS H.. In
place of .23S some use "a, which gives
higher weight. Thus, then, to find the
weight of "A fat animal, multiply the square
of the girth by tie length, and that product
by 23S, or take 23S- til part of it, or use
any lower and more convenient denomina-
ton of the same value.
Another popular rule is to multiply the
square of the girth by five times the length,
and divide the product by u, to get the
weight of the four quarters-i. e., multiply
the square of the girth by the length, and
take the 5-2lst part of the product for the
weight. Now 5-2l converted into decimals
is .23o09523, which exactly agrees, in as
far as the decimal numbers necessary for
the calculation are required. with the
numbers given in the other rule.
This number is obtained in the follow
ing way: The area of circle equals the
square of the circumference divided by
four times 3.14l6 (the circumference
of circle whose diameter is unity, or
divided 12.5664 equals 4x3.14l6l equal
.0795775. Hence the square of the cir
conference multiplied by .0795775 gives
the area of the circle.

THE FORESTER.
E0UlltU for Ttnb ~ Culture.


The Territory of Dakota has made very
of timber culture. Chapter 145 of the ses-
sion laws of 1885 provides that any per-
son planting one acre OR more of prairie
land, within five years after this act, with
any kind of trees except black locust or
cottonwood, and successfully growing and
cultivating for three years, shall be en-
titled to receive for ten years thereafter an
annual bounty of 81 for each acre SO
planted and cultivated, TO be paid out of
the territorial treasury, but such bounty
shall not be paid any longer than such
trees are maintained and kept in growing
condition. The code further provides that
any one fourth part of any quarter section
of prairie land, the same being q legal
subdivision, on which five acres of timber
shall be planted by either sowing seed or
by setting trees or cuttings, and the same
to lie kept III growing order by cultivation
and not to be more than twelve feet apart
each way, together with all improvements
thereon not TO exceed in value 81, 900, shall
be exempt from taxation for a period of
ten years from and after the planting of
said timber, and any change of ownership
of such land shall in no way effect the ex-
emption from taxation as herein provided.
To secure the benefit of this exemption,
the applicant shall file an affidavit with the
assessor that he has in every way COM
piled with the requirements of the law.
whereupon the assessor shall therein state
in effect the following words, to-wit:
Exempt from taxation by virtue of tree
culture" and shall describe the particular
tract or tracts of land so exempt.

THE STOCK-RANCH.
Age and size Of Pins.

A stunted pig never fully regains what it
has lost. The trouble is that the pig
poorly fed has his digestion impaired, so
that efforts to force him by subsequent
high feeding only make the matter worse
Overlooking with pi is a moro common
fault than is generally supposed. A young
pig will always be stunted if fed with all
the corn or corn it can eat. The food
is too concentrated, and after few sur
feits the stomach refuses to act and the
pig will never be thrifty afterward. Hence
the common remark that some pigs are not
worth as much at six months as they were
at the age of six weeks. To keep n young
pig thrifty. its feed should be largely COM
posed OF wheat bran, middlings, and either
grass or roots.

There is little use to hope for success

crops the soil must be we'll worked.

the crop was hoed only once. The early

A neighbor thought to secure a crop of
rye by sowing cornfield after simply har-

business i principles.

A mans farm, writes a correspondent of
the Germantown (Pa.) Telegraph, is ex-
actly like merchants store and stock of
goods. The merchant deals in a promis-
cuous lot of merchandise. Once in while
he takes account of stock in hand, and
overhauls every kind of goods he has. AS
he comes to each sort he looks at the cost
ard selling marks, and if there is not diff
ference enought between them, he says:
"That don't pay, I'll discard it in future. ;"
But when he comes TO an article that does
pay, he pays more attention to buying that
line of goods and to selling it also. He is
able to decide nicely on every article in his
whole stock, because he keeps an account
of its cost and what it brings, and there
fore Ee knows the profit to penny. He
will lave nothing in his stock which will
not pay. Now, how does the farmer man
age? In the first place, he does not know
what it costs to grow single article on his
whole farm, therefore does not know
whether he makes or loses on it. Two
thirds or three forths of everything he
markets is very likely sold at a loss, or at
SO small profit that they don't pay. Why
is this thus? The farmer don't keep any
account of cost of crops, of raising stock,
of butter making, of eggs, milk, or in fact
anything; therefore he dom know what he
makes his living from, and if he finds
times hard he don't know where to re-
trench, what to discard, or how to help
himself. The similarity between the mer-
chants stock in trade and the farmers
stock in trade is still perfect, but because
the merchant is business man he gets
rich and because the farmer is not bust
ness man he half starves. Now, it is not
worth while for me TO say another word,
except that of all the farmers who read
this, if there is one who can't see what l
am driving at, he will never be business

IYarpesti,so Castor Beaj,s.

The beans are produced in small prickly
pods or capsules, which are borne in pyra-
midal spikes or clusters. Ripening is in
dieated by the turning brown of the pods,
which soon burst open and scatter the
seeds. AS soon as the pods at the base of
cluster begin to turn brown, the cluster
must be harvested. The stem of the spike
or cluster is cut with a sharp knife, and
the cluster thrown into cart on which n
barn sheet or other cloth is spread to save
the beans that shell out. Many growers
prefer to use sled in harvesting; sled is
made with plank runners, large enough to
hold two large dry goods boxes. A single
horse draws this along the lanes, and the
clusters are thrown into the boxes. When
the boxes are filled they are taken to the
popping yard" A piece of hard ground,
say 100 feet square, is burned over, swept
and rolled to get hard surface, and sur.
rounded by a board fence. The clusters
are placed in the center of this. After two
days the spikes must be turned, using
rakes for the purpose. At the end of four
or five days the beans will have popped
out, when the refuse is removed. The
beans are swept up, 10 be cleaned by
tanning mill, and another lot of clusters
brought in.-AmericGR Agriculturist.
